If your child is desperate for a Fingerling this Christmas then there's some hope.

The interactive electronic pet is on the list of both naughty and nice children - but good luck finding any in the shops.

The Fingerlings have sold out in toy stores up and down the country after being launched earlier this year.

Fortunately, if you've been good and act quick, then Santa has managed to get his hands on some that he might share with your little ones, thanks to our friends at Wales Online .

We'll look at where you can search online further down this article.

If you don't know what they are but have been tasked with finding them, the mini-toys are available as a baby monkey, sloth and unicorn and, like the Tamagotchi craze from late '90s, they too crave their owner's time and attention and react in a host of different ways when treated to shows of affection.

Take the Baby Monkeys, from example, who begin babbling away from the minute you switch them on.

They also respond to being touched and held by laughing and purring, while blowing them a kiss results in one being blown back or the Fingerling breaking into a sneeze.

Able to grip on to everything from your finger to your belt or backpack, cradling one's head for a few seconds will see it burp or break wind - but leave it unattended for too long and and it'll start to whistle out of boredom.

And, should you still fail to go over to it, it'll drop off to sleep to conserve battery power and start snoring.

But where can you get some?

Well, while the likes of TheToyshop.com and Smyths (who say they're expecting Kingsley the Sloth to be back in stock next week) may currently be sold out, Amazon still has some for sale.

They're priced at £14.99 and , if ordered now, can be delivered by Decemeber 2 - 9, with the express service option being the safest bet.

They'll help you have your little ones wrapped around your finger come December 25.
